If you are the lucky owner of a 2011 (Facelift) 2.0 TDCi and also have an ELM327 and IDS/VCM interface then you can upgrade your 140 BHP to 163 BHP with Fords own FW.

Actually the FW for the 140 & 163 is the same and just a couple of bits tell the ECU that is has to use the maps for the 140 resp 163 engine.

First you need Elmconfig and a modified ELM327 interface (google this or check Mondeo MK4 electrics subforum for links)

Read you config from BCM and save a copy on you computer.

Then change the parameter for the Engine (page 2 elmconfig Central Configuration tab) to 2.0 I4 150PS Diesel DW10C Stage V , this is 1 step above the 140 PS engine.

Write back the central config to both IPC and BCM (ignore all flashing lights and errors on dash) with the new engine parameter set.

Fire up IDS och start new session.

After antering all needed data on the first page under the menu where you perform service function you will find possibility to do service functions for the PCM.

This is the same place where you can reset DPF counter , EGR , MAF and so on...

Almost at the bottom of this page is a function called write Central config to PCM... run this and you will now have a 163 PS car :)

Do a faultcode scan of all modules and reset all DTC:s

You maybe get a IPC dtc saying central config missing , just do a read of the config with IDS and write it back as sometimes elmconfig can corrupt the config in the IPC but this will be sorted by IDS.

Hi Liam

I had the same question but according to this post... basically you need UCDS.

It can be done with IDS interface and ELMconfig but everyone seems to go the UCDS route.

I suppose it's all down to which is cheapest? There are VCM/IDS units on the bay though for about £70

There are also the fake UCDS units as mentioned above that are a bit cheaper... even though they are not the latest versions they do seem to work as normal, certainly for older vehicles like ours.

Not sure about the error code they talk about, I don't have the electronic brake.

Hope it's OK to resurrect this thread?

I just got a 2012 S-Max 140 and would like to do this. I'm wondering if I should be getting CAN cable, ELMconfig, Forscan, VCM, IDS etc and/or UCDS in general (hence I started a general thread in the diagnostics section) but also specifically for this mod - is there a concensus on whether UCDS is now the way to go for this, or ELMconfig/IDS?

I understood from the UCDS forum that doing this with the electronic handbrake, which I have, left a residual error code in the handbrake module - would the ELMconfig/IDS method in the OP here have the same issue? Maybe it's solved now for UCDS method anyway?

Any help appreciated.

Does the Forscan need to read at 500k baud?

Tried Elmconfig and that wont connect at 500k, gives an error.

Forscan app seems to connect to the car, but i only had a quick look

at it. Didnt connect to any modules etc.

Time for my original F-Super to retire :)

Mines stuck at 38400, wont work past that even with Forscan.

Think its a dud one.

Will be sending it back for a refund.

Change the config to the correct engine code (DW10C 150) , write to IPC / BCM.

In service functions reinit PCM and presto 163 hp..

Will check this weekend and maybe do a more easy to follow guide.

OK so do I load (play button) the BCM module then change the configuration?

I looked at the PCM but the asbuilt data is all hex code?

any help would be very much appreciated :)

I thought the Forscan guys also had an IDS when they did the upgrade?

Had a quick look and just followed link after link until it stops saying you need to be

registered. Gave up then.

They did say the UCDS? where you loaded the Kuga data was a bit of a dodgy fix, not exactly worded that way. But translation was a bit odd. Screwy?

Here are 2 pics on what needs to be done.

1. Get a good ELM327 with HS/MS switch or even better a VCM2 that supports module programming

Open Forscan , make sure you have got the extended license (free right now on their website , follow guide there).

Open configuration menu (the icon of a QFN chip) and choose BCMii config (main config) change to engine type as in the picture and write back to BCM and IPC (back up module). The operations are done by pressing the play button.

after this is done choose to reinit the PCM.

Also make sure to do a full DTC read and erase because you will have sonme U codes.

Hope this clears things up for you guys.

Has anyone else done this and confirmed it definitely works?

I've got a 2012 S-Max with the same engine and was looking to find someone with UCDS to do this for me but if it is possible to do it with Forscan and it definitely works then I may have to give it a go.

Today, I've modified the bcmii but I don't know how confirm if I do it correctly, the car aparently work like before :/
